Motivational Interviewing on Purpose: Deepening Your Practice
Join us for an interactive, 2-part online series for dedicated MI practitioners, champions, and trainers ready to elevate your skills. Over 6 engaging hours, we’ll dive deep into advanced MI through hands-on experiential exercises and real-world skills practice.
This series focuses on the 4 Tasks of MI from the inside out—from growing meaningful client connections (especially when it’s hard) to skillfully evoking transformative change talk and action plans.
We’ll pose questions like, “Is the ‘fixing reflex’ just the tip of the iceberg for what can get in the way between us and our clients?” and, “Is empowerment as much about humility as evoking?”
This training series will be capped at 20 learners. Learners with at least 6 hours of prior training and practice with MI are welcome!
